That's a terrifying thought.

Agree to an extent. But even that is just delaying the inevitable. Every Democrat appoints reliable statist hacks. Every Republican appoints at least one sellout.

That's why this country and its future is fricked.

Its not the job of the court to legislate from the bench. Its job is to enforce the laws of our nation.

Ginsberg is horrible, but I support her (alleged) intention of waiting until Rand or Ted can replace her.

I'll believe it when I see it, though. Even if she's serious, the progtards will pressure her to step down while the glorified community organizer can choose yet another piece of shite to take her seat.

actually it's the executive branch's job to enforce the laws.

the judicial branch's job is to interpret the law.

Ginsburg doesn't even like the U.S. Constitution. She's trashed it in interviews.

I wouldn't really call what she does interpreting anything.

Let her hold on to it, Maybe a conservative president will get 2 terms and when she hits late 80's she will hang it up and be replaced by a conservative.

It's not like they think they'll lose in 2016. In her mind she's just waiting for the next Democrat President. The Dems will lose but by that time it'll be too late.

This is what Scalia, Kennedy and Thomas are thinking right now. Dependent on a republican POTUS, they're not retiring until Obama leaves office.

Hillary can appoint their replacements.

Is she subtlety saying she's not impressed with Kagan and 'The Wise Latina'?

Could be. Could also be that she's looking at the dysfunctional senate and the possibility that any acceptable candidate would be torpedoed by republicans.
